As if this morning wasn't enough
OMD. As if this morning wasn't enough mom decided to give me a training session at the park this afternoon. We were almost there and some jerk in a car hollered at me and scared me really bad. He got pulled over by the police and got a ticket HA HA. One of the police officers came over to see if me and mom were ok because I got scared so bad that I almost pulled mom off her feet. Then I didn't want to go back over to her but stood at the end of my leash shaking like crazy. Mom asked some people in the park to help out by coming from behind us hollering as we were walking slowly around in it. I kept getting scared and trying to run away but mom calmly encouraged me back to her side and continued walking. If I stayed beside her and calm I got clicked and treated. Once I finally calmed down and was ignoring them when they walked past hollering mom thanked them for their help and let me visit with them for a little bit of petting and then we did a 20 minute long training session working on lots of things. Mom said most of what we worked on I need to learn for the CGC Test that she wants me to take. She said that right now I wouldn't pass the test and that we are going to keep practicing lots and lots until I will be able to pass it. We worked on sit/stays, loose leash walking, leave it, left turns, right turns, u turns, watch mes, she mussed with my feet, lifted up my top lip to look at my teeth and then we walked the rest of the way down to meet dad at work and mom didn't put my head collar back on me. She was very proud of how I did after the scare I got and how I was able to start focusing on her again and stayed focused for a 20 minute long training session. Over all it was a long day. I'm really tired now so i'm off to bed.
